HOW WE BEGAN
WHERE WE’RE GOING
Mallarmé has commissioned over 35 new works by American composers. They have created new contours in the landscape of chamber music through partnerships with artists of many different disciplines. Through their eclectic education programs they have developed a new model for community-based arts organizations.
Concerts are typically held at venues across Durham and the surrounding areas. With their commitment to collaboration and to the inclusion of young and BPIOC and LGBTQ musicians, the Mallarmé Chamber Players hopes to continue to grow while reflecting the spirit of our community and of chamber music.
“Mallarmé Chamber Players is not just a collection of musicians performing an eclectic mix of music; they are a philosophy of music and life, an organization that teaches, mentors and is inclusive of all cultures within our community, and a place for like-minded professionals from all over the country to come and share their musical gifts.”
